fix(web): sanitize routine trigger errors

Replace 8 instances of `.map_err(|e| (StatusCode::INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR, e.to_string()))`
with logging + generic error messages. DB errors (SQL details, connection info) were
being returned directly to API clients in chat history, thread listing, routine,
extension, and pairing endpoints.

Matches the existing pattern at line 1706 which already used a generic "Database error"
message. Applied the same fix to all remaining instances in server.rs.

Closes #1702
